Kinda hard to tell from one picture what these things are gonna be like in real life. Hoping that someone here has seen one...? (I will say that the "DODGE" embossing on the silver ring seems a bit less crisp than the originals)

I'm not looking for 100% dead on accurate, if I was, I'd just drop the $250 and get a real one. Lol

Just hoping they're not total crap...

What says cc.com?

Thanks in advance.

I bought one off ebay, its chrome which I understand is NOT correct ( should be silver) and I'm happy with it. I've been wanting one for years but wouldn't pay the crazy prices for an original one.

Oh hell yeah. I can live with that. (But yeah, I think it's supposed to silver vs. bright chrome.)

Pics are great. Thanks for posting.

I'm assuming the black ring closest to the steering wheel is an adapter you made to attach the cap to the aftermarket wheel?   

I had about a dozen originals, gave most of them away through the years, only one left is on my Challenger...

FWIW that looks damn nice..

Yes I made the black spacer, otherwise you end up with a gap on tuff wheels.

What did you use for a spacer?  I'm looking at adapting my fish cap to a Tuffweel
